Barren Mountain covered more than seventy million square kilometers, equivalent to the area of eight or nine Dragon Countries on the former Earth! To humanity in those days, that was an immensely vast expanse! But to Exotic Beasts whose bodies could easily reach twenty or thirty thousand meters, it was not particularly large! Fortunately, the resources within Barren Mountain's seventy-million-square-kilometer territory were fairly abundant, more than enough to sustain a million ferocious beasts, or even several million.
A few days after the battle atop the mountain, Su Lin learned from the surrendered Three-Eyed Giant Python why the ecological environment here had become so stagnant. This place was a natural prison for criminals. Long ago, the Clan Master of the Purple Radiance God Race's third branch, a Pinnacle Realm Heaven Realm expert who had already faintly glimpsed that Unspeakable realm, had used a great divine ability to curse this place!
Every Exotic Beast born here would have a Gene Imprint branded into its body by the curse!
This Gene Imprint had turned the descendants of Criminal Exotic Beasts, who could originally have developed in a balanced manner, into a species that could only develop their physical bodies and found it exceedingly difficult to advance in strength!

This was precisely how the Purple Radiance God Race kept these criminals imprisoned here for generation after generation, making them work like beasts of burden! Only when the Purple Radiance God Race needed them would it dispatch batch after batch of criminals from the Barren Mountain Range, using them as cannon fodder in true interstellar wars!
This... was the ultimate fate of every species in the
